Okay, breath, relax, it WILL all get done.....
Last Night I completed the gold hood for the Knights outfit. The lining just needs to be hand sew around the face. This will wait until next week.
Today will see me start Paul's new outfit. under tunic, over tunic and hood. Hood will be easy peasy as he is now almost the same size as The Knight and I can use the same patterns. Yea!
My list making has started in earnest. I still need to email HRM this weekend about court business but I will wait until after I have dinner with Barre and Cordelia tomorrow night. So many things to remember and I don't know what half of things are that I'm supposed to remember. Ah, well, I'll learn it all soon enough. I have a good support system in place of past B&B's that have offered their advice and guidence.
Very important-
I need to enlist a lady or gentleman in waiting for assistance on the day though. Someone who can follow me to write things down for me all day. I am afraid I will forget lots-o-stuff I should have remembered.

Just a piece of advice or two..
Having an attendant to help you keep track of things is a good idea, but you may want to line up several folks that are willing to do this in an ongoing capacity. A couple of friends were head ladies, and after a while they got burnt since they would get volunteers that thought that attending was a breeze. when they saw it was work, they'd dissappear, or just show up in time for court.
Also, make sure if you have primarily ladies as attendants you have some male guards that will be willing and able to lug thrones, treasure boxes, etc. That will save a *lot* of headaches..
Hopefully this is redundant advice from what you have already received, so you can dismiss it at will...
Re: Just a piece of advice or two..
I received a very good piece of advice from Tristan
"Let people do things for you if they want to". He said he had a hard time remembering to be less independent and letting people help him when they offered.
